"It is our ambition to reduce our environmental footprint and improve our energy efficiency. One way of doing it is by deploying a standardized GrandVision store concept. This store design and technical specifications include guidelines for efficient technical installations, such as LED lighting and efficient air conditioning systems, as well as a more optimized store layout, leading to up to average of 15 m2 of floor space reduction per store. Currently, ca. 40% of our worldwide store portfolio follows this concept. While in total, almost 3,000 stores (>40%) are equipped with LED lights. By 2025, all our stores should be equipped with LED lighting. The CO2 efficiency rate is reduced with 18% from 282 to 231 grams of CO2 per pair of glasses [Red: in 2018, vergeleken met boekjaar 2017]. Our target for 2025 is 205 grams CO2 per spectacle. Water efficiency improved with nearly 10% compared to 2017. In the process of cutting, edging and fitting of a pair of lenses into a frame, GrandVision now uses less than two liters of water. Our 2025 target is to reduce water consumption per spectacle to 1.87, which is a 15% reduction compared to base year 2015."
